What’s new
Version 0.2.5 · Updated August 30, 2026
NEW: ASK THE COACH Stuck on something? Ask a football question in your own words and get an answer drawn only from this course — with tappable links straight to the lesson, module, or glossary term it came from. No made-up answers. Ask by typing or by voice. Voice recognition happens on your iPhone, so your audio never leaves the device. Free accounts get three questions a day. You'll need to be signed in and 18 or over, and you can turn Ask the Coach off any time in Settings. EVERY PENALTY IN THE RULEBOOK The Penalties module and glossary now cover all 63 fouls — every one with who commits it, the yardage, and the rule behind it. Each penalties lesson ends with the complete list, and every foul has a full glossary entry. FIXED • The glossary now shows every term. Terms later in the alphabet — including Touchdown, Safety, and most penalties — were missing from the list and from search. • Lessons and the glossary now work offline once you've loaded them. • Quizzes are no longer scored against questions you weren't shown. If a lesson's questions were updated while you had a quiz open, a completely correct set of answers could come back below the pass mark — and the failed attempt was recorded. That can't happen now. • Asking a second question by voice no longer repeats the first one. • A question can't be sent twice by accident, and your free questions are only used when the Coach actually answers — failures, timeouts and retries cost nothing. • The quick quiz's CREATE ACCOUNT button now opens registration instead of the sign-in screen. • Legal links on the guest profile no longer run off the edge at the largest text sizes. This version requires iOS 15 or later.
